Luke is using the word translated as And to indicate that Gamaliel spoke after the officers had taken the apostles out of the council chamber. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλεῖται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Τέ πρός αὐτούς Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπί τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις τί μέλλετε πράσσειν)

This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: [My fellow Israelites]

Gamaliel is warning the council members not to do something that they will later regret. He means “be very careful about what you do to these men,” and you could state that as an alternate translation. However, the implication is that the council should not kill the apostles, as [5:33](../05/33.md) says they want to do. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [you need to be very cautious and not kill these men, because you might deeply regret that later]
